Z the I.G.



If you want an Italian Greyhound (aka I.G.) and want to get one from a rescue, forget about the Northeast, says the owner of Z the I.G., and head west, where big dogs are king and little ones plentiful. Z was scooped up from a I.G. rescue in Colorado and taken back to New York where she acquired this lovely cableknit sweater.

later, Z

Sophie, wee Pomeranian


According to The Good Book, aka Wikipedia:

Pomerania (Polish: Pomorze, German and Swedish: Pommern, Kashubian: Pòmòrze or Pòmòrskô, Latin: Pomerania or Pomorania) means "country by/next to/along the sea." The Polish name, "Pomorze," is literally "seacoast", referring to its proximity to the Baltic Sea.

I have heard that the people of Pomerania are (were, I suppose, since the country is no more...but perhaps people in that area still identify as such?) are every bit as social butterfly-ish as these little fluffernutters. But they are no doubt not as easy to transport.

wiener, bound for Marc Jacobs on Bleecker



Perhaps in search of some skinny jeans like his owner's, only with a shorter inseam.

West Village furry


This is Buba, though I'm not sure how to spell her name since her owner pronounced it "boo-bah" as in sis-boom-bah but then said "you know, like bubeleh" which, if we were being strict about it, would mean the dog's nickname should likely be prounounced "boo-buh" but anyway.

Boo-bah's owner pointed out the strong resemblance between dog and dog toy.
